I have a question though. My machine is on smooth floor and it moves around when I am peddling. What do you guys use to keep it in place or do I need to adjust how I am peddling?
I did learn you cannot use a chair on wheels. Both the chair and the machine were rolling all over.
heeheee Rock'n and a roll'n! I hope you have some good tunes to go with that!
My floors are carpeted, and the treadles sit on the rubber carpet protector pads. You can find the pads at Home Depot or Lowes.
Have you tried sitting the treadle onto those to see if you no longer a rolling?
Find yourself a vintage Singer chair!! Or find a piano bench.
Both are about the right height for the treadles, and they both can store attachments and other vintage sewing treasures. :)
